Picture lock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Picture lock is a stage in editing a film or editing a television production. After all changes to the edit have been done and approved, the edit then achieves picture lock[1]. It is then sent to subsequent stages in the process, such as online editing and audio mixing. Any last minute changes can force portions of subsequent work to be re-done.

Not every production necessarily obeys picture lock. A director or executives in charge may change their minds and ask for additional changes to be made.
